The mountains in Danyang County are continuous, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the terrain is extremely complex, forming three rivers, six ridges, nine ditches, and eighteen villages, a total of thirty-six large and small forces, each with an elder presiding over affairs, under normal circumstances, there is no half a month, don't want to finish these places, the lame elder only took seven days to come back, it really makes people wonder if he is 'Scud! ’

"Meet the Metropolitan Governor, Xiao Lao'er was ordered to convey the matter of recruitment, and the cottages everywhere have already responded!" The lame elder spoke with a strong smell of wine, this time I went to visit the old guys, I didn't bring other gifts, but I brought enough wine, walked all the way, drank all the way, and negotiated things smoothly, this is called ~ wine diplomacy!

"Oh? What was the reaction of the cottages everywhere, and did they agree to let the young people enlist in the army? "Xiao Yi is very confident in recruiting soldiers, in order to get an elite mountain soldier, he has invested enough money, and he will never treat the mountain people badly!

"The matter of recruiting soldiers, it is not trivial, the elders are also discussing, some people support, some people oppose ......, and finally it was unanimously decided that five days later, on October 30th, the maple leaves on the mountain are red, that is the day of the reincarnation of the ancestor - Chiyou Bingjie, and the elders of all villages gather in the 'Chiyou Mound' to worship the demon god, and at the same time discuss the matter of recruitment, and invite the governor to participate!"

Speaking of 'Chiyou Mound', the lame elder's face was pious, for them Danyang people, it was a holy place!

"It's okay, Pontus Governor will personally go on a trip to worship the demon god - Chiyou, or meet all kinds of heroes!" Xiao Yi nodded, it was worth the trip to be able to participate in a classical sacrificial ceremony and open his eyes, "Besides...... October 30th, which is also my brother's birthday! ”

In addition, the lame elder also brought back a piece of news, when he visited various cottages, the existing people were active in Danyang County, and they also wanted to recruit a team of people, and they had a great appetite, and they opened their mouths to be 10,000 elite soldiers!

What is the other party, the lame elder did not see it, only heard that it was a young man in his twenties, handsome, elegant conversation, and very generous, the gifts were sent out in a car, many cottage elders were bought by him, this person also brought a fairy-like lady, the two walked together, the talented and beautiful woman, really like a fairy couple, by the way, they are from Lujiang County......

"Little white face, with a beautiful wife, from Lujiang County, is also going to recruit soldiers......" Xiao Yi touched his little black face, thought about it a little in his heart, and immediately thought of someone, "Zhou Gongjin, let's meet again, it's really a narrow road!" ”

Danyang County produces elite soldiers, and it is located in the gap between the two major power groups of Cao and Sun, whoever controls this place can sweep the entire Huainan region, so that it is in a very advantageous state militarily!

If the Jiangdong Group occupies the three counties of Huainan, it can use this place as a pedal, and then peep into the Central Plains.

On the other hand, if the Cao Ying group occupies the three counties of Huainan, it is equivalent to hanging a sharp blade above the head of the 'little overlord' - Sun Ce, and can cross the river at any time, and then annex the six counties of Jiangdong and dominate the world!

Defend Jiangdong must defend Huainan, seize the Central Plains must seize Huainan, this is the disaster of the family, the two strong meet, how can they not fight, it depends on whose means are higher!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After a little preparation, Xiao Yi's small caravan came out, the lame elder led a few young men in the cottage to lead the way, and the group went straight to the 'Chiyou Mound', all kinds of gifts were not missing, 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' In addition to being able to fight well, diplomatic means are also first-class, even if you use money to smash it this time, you have to smash out 10,000 elite soldiers!

Danyang County is known as 100,000 mountains, the grass and trees are abundant, at this time it is the golden autumn of October, at a glance, the mountains are all golden yellow, people are like falling into a dream, the branches are full of wild fruits, pick a few to taste, the juice is abundant, very sweet!

Someone said, just eat wild fruits, aren't you afraid of poisoning, this is simple, just look at the recipes of the animals, there will be no problem with them to eat, Xiao Yi even snatched a lot of peaches from a group of macaques, looking at this long-lost fruit, I couldn't help but feel sad, and finally announced directly, named this fruit ~~~'Kiwi! ’

In addition to picking a few wild fruits and hunting a little game to feed the 'ingots', Xiao Yi also paid attention to the medicinal herbs all over the mountains, these mountains that have been sleeping for countless years are simply a treasure trove of medicinal herbs, and more than a hundred years of precious medicinal materials can be seen everywhere, and a grasp is a large handful......

"Nine-leaf exquisite grass ~ For healing wounds, the treatment of knife wounds is the most effective, and the army is lacking this thing......"

"Seven Yellow Essence, dredge the blood, treat headaches, send some to Xuchang, and honor the future father-in-law......"

"Dripping blood sunflower~ This is a good thing to see blood and seal the throat, foam on the top of the arrow cluster, suffer death, encounter death, prepare more ...... for the princes"

…………………………………………………………………………

While collecting, you have to throw things at the same time, there is no way, Xiao Yi has collected too many herbs, in order to load these things, you must use some pack horses, as for those silk, polished rice, porcelain...... Gifts like that, you can only throw away things!

"Dare to ask the Metropolitan Governor, for the sake of some dead branches and weeds, he threw away so many good things, this is too loser~~"

The lame elder's arms were full, like a bear reaping a good harvest, Xiao Yi threw it in front, and he picked it up in the back, he was quite happy at first, thinking that he had met a loser, but now it was wrong, this is not only a loser, it is simply a ruined country, how much money is enough to throw it like this, could it be that the majority of the governors are evil?

"Hehe, the elder doesn't know, the medicinal herbs all over the mountains are all good treasures, and they are worth gold!" Saying that, Xiao Yi pulled out a hundred-year-old 'phoenix bone grass' from the ground, "This is a good medicine for reducing fever and detoxifying, after brewing, take it to Xuchang, and the money from the sale is enough to buy thirty catties of corn!" ”

"Such an ordinary weed can be exchanged for thirty catties of grain?" The lame elder's eyes were full of incredulity, the life in the mountains was backward, there were few witch doctors, and his knowledge of medicinal herbs was also very low, most of them were gambling on luck, and as a result, more people were poisoned than cured......

"Most of my family's governors are superb in martial arts, and their medical skills are also high, and they are famous 'Holy Hand Little Divine Doctors', how can they deceive you!"

A group of pro-soldiers immediately ran out to testify, they knew Xiao Yi's character, that is a gossip when the lord of gold, since it is said that a herb is worth thirty catties of grain, then it will not be missing a tael, this is called credibility!

"One plant is thirty catties of grain, two plants are sixty catties, three plants are ninety catties, and four plants are ......" The lame elder fell into a state of madness, and his ten fingers were soon unable to break, so he simply took off his boots, even counting his toes, and as for the things in his arms, they had already thrown them out!

"Oh my God, there are 100,000 mountains in Danyang County, and they are full of medicinal herbs, endless, if you exchange them for food, how many people will be enough to eat" The lame elder looked at it, only to feel that the mountains were full of golden grain, "God, the children finally don't have to starve......"

"The Metropolitan Governor is merciful, for thousands of years, the people of Danyang have been mixed in the wilderness, fighting with wild beasts, being in the company of birds of prey, relying on hard work to exchange for a little food to survive, I don't know how many people have been buried in the 100,000 mountains, turned into a lot of white bones, and the villagers are miserable~~"

The lame elder suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowing desperately, and the same was true of those hunters, knocking 'bang' sound, and their heads were red; the herbs all over the mountains and fields were a handful of dead grass in their hands, useless, only in Xiao Yi's hands, could they turn waste into treasure and become living food~~

"Elders, please get up, the governor of Pontus is in charge of the party, naturally he will not let the people of Danyang suffer anymore, in the future, after you hunt, you will collect more herbs, and after classifying, they will all be sent to Shouchun City, where there is a 'Qihuang Academy', which specializes in boiling traditional Chinese medicine, and the purchase price is fair, Tong Su is not bullied, and you will definitely not be at a loss!"

Looking at the medicinal herbs all over the mountains, Xiao Yi was also very proud, 'It is better to teach people to fish than to receive fish', no matter how much money and food are given to the mountain people, they also have a time when they run out, if they are given a way to support themselves, it will be a long rice bowl that can eat for thousands of years!

Moreover, through the communication between the two sides through the herb business, are you still afraid that the people of Danyang will not fight for themselves? It is really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone to put down the rebellion and get elite soldiers...... As for Zhou Yu, what do you use to fight with your brother?
